Gibson

Senior isn't a primary striker.

[Nudga]

People were praising him with his ball last week.  Senior had a shot in the first half that what worse than gibbons. ???

He needs to stop monkeying around in the area.

[Spilsby Red]

Gibson isn’t a primary striker as you put it either. Honestly. We didn’t win. Let’s say we are crap unless we win

[Spilsby Red]

Be careful what you put Nudga. Could be seen as something else

[mushRTID]

It’s been clear this season to anyone with a functional set of eyes, that he has very little end product.

The real issue is not replacing him properly in January.

I really do worry it’s going to cost us.

What was Gibson signed for if not to create and score goals?  and are you saying we're crap unless we win cos' I haven't said it.

[Spilsby Red]

Imagine this. And yes it could happen. Gibson scores the the goal that gets us promoted. Long shot but could happen. Or anyone of our players does that. Frustrating when things don’t work. These players don’t go out and think, let’s annoy the fans

[goalkick]

Hope our main defenders are back soon as senior and Nixon leave a lot to be desired.with regards to Gibson plays some good football but can’t produce the  end product when in a good position to score. Feel sorry for the guy as he puts the effort in.

Gibson has been great of late, wasn’t great today. He always gets into very good positions to score. I’d rather that than someone who doesn’t have the intelligence to do that.

[PDX_Rover]

Could and should have had at least two goals today. There’s a good player there - as he admits himself, he’s working on the mental side of his game. Decision making is so important

He’s been better than he had been, I wouldn’t say he’s been great.

[Chris Black come back]

We are continuing to make it very hard for ourselves and frankly struggle against decent sides. Thankfully a lot of other results went our way but we need soon to start stringing wins together once again. As it stands we don’t determine our own fate.

I think his best asset for us is the way he retains possession when we attack. It makes a difference to how we play.

[Bills view]

He needs to put his foot through some of these chances and take them quicker.

Only by a racist or someone with a far left leaning agenda.

As one of the stronger sides in the league, with good investment made…I don’t think it’s too much to ask our attacking left sided player can retain possession and score a few more goals.

[Padge_DRFC]

We've got midfielders that can't take a ball to feet and retain possession unless an opposition player is over 10 yards away from them

[Arsenal Of The North]

He should be sent packing, not worth the very little he brings. Only problem is there is no one else to bring in, Dennis is no better either.

In the last 7 days he’s had probably 7/8 chances, good ones at that and scored zero.

Especially when Clifton plays. Gibson acts more like a conventional no10 from wide.

Don’t you think Gibson should play no10? He did in his last season in L2 with Carlisle and had some of the best creative stats in the league.

[Ian Nimmo]

Gibson is a passenger, off the ball he is shocking. Again today the ball was heading to  wards the east touchline, he was in front of the Swindon player who then run past Gibson to gain the ball, which eventually ended up with them scoring.
God only knows why he getting game time over others.

[TonySoprano]

Just seen that chance he messed up when through on goal.
Wow, absolutely atrocious, and smacks of someone with zero confidence.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

He had a good game on the whole.  People need to lay off him a bit. It didn't fall for him and he snatched a chance aswell but he got in good positions and played some good passes too.  Scapegoat is very much the word.

[Padge_DRFC]

Reaction and posts on social media are OTT. Glad one has been removed I've seen.

Reality is if he took all his chances with the skill he's got he'd be playing top end league 1 every week for someone

[GazLaz]

The forward players were fine today. It was defensively we let it slip.

He didn’t have a good game at all, he should have been brought off instead of street.
The guy has had two good games, first game at home and away at Grimsby and that’s your lot from him.

Was always going to be iffy with the whole back line changed, I thought Tom was decent, Bailey did ok but the two Full backs were not very good

He’s our best assist maker for time spent on the pitch.

[Padge_DRFC]

Hopefully the reaction from fans is the high expectations of him and others get a pass because actually they're just steady Eddies.

Not a peep about Sharp's sitter on Tuesday on social media. Not a peep on his lack of contribution this season. Our front 3 as mentioned above were fine. Agree Street shouldn't have come off going for the winner. He always looks like scoring a few a game too.

I just hope McCann doesn't start messing around and changing the front 3 every week. These are our best 3 for sure.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

It's unfortunate that Gibsons two gilt edged chances today are the epitome of the finishing that's plagued us all season.

Our conversation rate of chances from 10 to 15 yards out must be quite poor yet, we seem to get disproportionately punished for mistakes at the other end sometimes with mis hit shots going in or by deflection or both.

Coupled with the two gilt edged chances Gibson had last week, it's easy to get frustrated with him and perhaps what doesn't help his cause is he seems to be so emotionless. His general play has been better of late, covering back when necessary and getting into some good positions to score, whereas others might not. It's a conundrum for the manager to make the right call with him to persevere or drop him. No doubt he's a great finisher in training. Maybe hypnotherapy is the answer?? Ha ha.

That all said, the goals we concede at critical times has come back to haunt us just after half time, just when we thought we'd banished that curse last week. Maybe that's where the therapy is most needed.
